    I think I might have bought the last one ever made for my 89 V1500. I kinda want one for my 97 F350. I too will watch CL!

    Great looking Suburban there John. I am usually not a fan of camouflage but it seems work well on that Suburban. Looks like you found a solid foundation to start build a project. Looking forward to your updates. PS….you will dig those Husky Floor mats. I had them in my K10 for years and recently moved them to my Suburban as well.

    I too am looking for a pair of painted (not chrome) WARN classic bumpers. If anybody runs across one I’d sure be interested!

    I may be stealing some ideas from you as mine is being fortified.

    When I started reading this thread, I thought your name sounded kinda familiar, but I couldn't place it.
    Now I've placed it, I run a Mookie Light. I've been a fan of your gear for quite a while.
    Great kit.

    But back to the point of the thread, great looking Burban.

    And now you've got me looking at your site again.

    Waiting on the wire harness to come in foe the LightForce striker 170's. Was suppose to ship today from Memphis so hopefully we will have it tomorrow and can get the lights wired up.

    Friend has a shop here in town. He took some measurements for some sliders. So that will happen soon then onto the roof rack.

    Made a bag for the tools. Based off a bag we make called the TOOL bag. This one is bigger to hold the socket trays.

    And some TOOL pods that will hold screw drivers, ratchets, extensions, etc.

    Great looking Burb. You've added some pretty good right off. I have the dually d2s on my suburban and I really like them but your right about the throw compared to the higher end hid lights. I had a hard time looking for the type of bumper I wanted and couldn't find one so I ended up building what I wanted. Definitely going to watch your build, keep posting all the pics.
